Sample Programming

The mini program is the first six weeks of our full 16-week program split up over 12 weeks to shorten the workouts to 15-20 minutes.

In the workout, you would do all the same letters together in a circuit. For example:

  • A: 3x 10 Squats
  • A: 3x 10 Step Ups

You would do one round of 10 squats and then 10 step-ups per side, then repeat 3 total times.

Here is a sample week of programming from week 1 of the program! These exercises progress over the 12 week program to more advanced and including more weights.
